5. Formerly many antelope ranged on the sagebrush plains southwest of 
Winslow, in Navajo and Coconino Counties, but in 1923 these had become re- 
duced to 10, located in Coconino County. 
6. About 50 are reported on the open range near Heber, in Navajo County. 
7. About 50 are reported as ranging along the Verde rim, northeast of Camp 
Verde, Yavapai County. 
8. About 40 are ranging in Cedar Glade, south of Ashfork, in Yavapai County. 
9. In 1922 several bands, aggregating 100 or more, were reported to be rang- 
ing on the Baca Grant, 50 miles south of Seligman, in Yavapai County. 
10. A band of about 50 is reported as ranging in the open country near Selig- 
man, in Yavapai and Coconino Counties. 
11. In 1922 about 80 were reported to have been on the Carrow cattle range, 
southwest of Nelson, in Mohave County. These probably also range into 
Yavapai County. The Car- 
row brothers give strict 
protection to the antelope 
on their range, where they 
have increased w T ithin the 
last 10 years from about 
15 animals to the present 
number. 
12. A band of 25 is re- 
ported as occupying the 
open range southeast of 
Springerville, in Apache 
County. From 1884 to 1890 
bands aggregating 500 to 
600 antelope occupied this 
territory. 
13. In 1923 bands aggre- 
grating about 75 antelope 
were reported to have been 
ranging in Yuma County, 
near the international 
boundary. Seven head were 
reported in 1924 between 
the Mohawk and the Ca- 
beza Prieta ranges. 
14. In 1923 Papago In- 
dians reported that a few 
antelope were still ranging 
in Santa Rosa Valley, in 
Pima County, but no defi- 
nite number was given. 
15. In 1923 about 30 ante- 
lope were reported occur- 
ring on the mesa west of Oracle and along the road to Florence, about 35 miles' 
northwest of Tucson, in Pinal and Pima Counties. 
16. According to residents of Arivaca, about 20 antelope occur in the upper 
end of Altar Valley, not far from San Fernando Valley, in Pima County. 
Near a small lake near the middle of the valley in 1923 a number of young 
were noticed with this band, indicating that it may be slowly increasing. 
17. In 1923 a band of about 12 was ranging on the plains near the north end 
of a small mountain range locally known as the Sierrita, southwest of Tucson, 
in Pima County. 
18. In 1923 about 10 antelope were ranging on the plains near Benson, in 
Cochise County. 
CALIFORNIA 
During the middle of the last century when the gold rush took place, 
antelope were generally distributed and very abundant on the plains of 
California, especially in the San Joaquin Valley and over the Mohave Desert 
region, ranging thence south to the Mexican border; also on the arid plains 
in the northeastern part of the State. In 1923 they had been reduced to 
small bands in six widely separated areas, containing a total of about 1,057 
animals.
